What Was Intro PolSci Like in 1972 at U. of Houston?

U of H was mainly a commuter school back then.  I was working full time and took courses.  Two semesters of political science were required.  From my perspective, the first semester was fairly easy.  The second wasn’t so easy.  Keep that in mind.   Here are the required readings and a few of the assignments.  (The first page is there just to identify the year and the course.  The second and third pages are also clearer.)

(Yes, we had to read all of The Federalist Papers and I will never forget going into work and thinking to myself, “Wow, people really are like this.”)

Now, compare this to today’s courses at several universities.
